We need to earn $1,400,000 to pay $600,000++ in direct taxes, $400,000 in bank debt costs, to buy a $400,000 home that in its costs, contain $200,000 of labour, fees, tariffs, duties and other hidden taxes.

So you gross earn $1,400,000 to by a debt/tax out $200,000 home.

No wonder so many want twice the pay for 1/2 the work government jobs to keep Orwellian statism alive in making people tax-slaves of statism.

But here is the truth, we all can’t work for government or we would starve to death. Government is about consumption, and not production. An example:

You need to earn $1,400,000 to pay $600,000 in direct taxations, $400,000 in interest, for a $400,000 home of which $200,000 is in labour, tariffs, fees and other hidden government costs for a debt/tax out $200,000 home.

Mexican can earn $200,000, pay $40,000 in taxes, $40,000 in interest and buy a $120,000 home that only has $20,000 in hidden taxes.

So for a Mexican, they can work cheaper and live better. No $500/mo utility bills for the city tax greed not in above. Its why we lose manufacturing jobs. We are a debt-tax deprecating economy of government bloat and waste. Government, corporate, union, bank, military, other money for nothing welfare be it individual, organization or provincial welfare for waste is not free.

Students, get careers in jobs that are portable productive skills to other countries, I did and it paid in spades as I was out of Canada for 12 very productive tax free years. Economics does mater contrary to how you were raised.

Funny how the young are being naive and all seem to rank government and highly competitive jobs most will not get.

Society would not function at all if we all worked at government, Google and Microsoft. Just isn’t going to happen. Want education jobs with a government flavor? Be a doctor, nurse, dentist….at least they do something for their inflated wages.

Society needs productive and not more consumptive people. No one is paying for arts in a over taxed society, society needs productive value added jobs to be filled or else there will be no arts.

Economics of job prospects is very much a major input in career choices. And no mater what debt-tax laden parents, economic idiocracy, corrupt academics tell you, you can’t escape REAL WORLD ECONOMICS.
